meson: update to 1.8.2

[PoroCYon]

Testing the changes

• I tested the changes in this PR: YES (working on my own project that uses meson right now, and I confirmed I now have the bugfixes from the new version)

• I built this PR locally for my native architecture, x86_64-glibc

• I did not build this PR locally for other architectures, because meson is 100% written in Python (famous for being a scripting language), and it's a simple version bump.

and I confirmed I now have the bugfixes from the new version

and it's a simple version bump

So the thing is that meson 1.8 is not a simple version bump, as indeed noted by the fact that 1.8.2 has many regression fixes for 1.8.0

... many, but not all. There are more outstanding regressions. Downstream users will have to decide for themselves how much those issues affect them, I suppose.

most things look fine build wise, 2 look like meson issues

#56033

[zlice]

was going to update mesa #56345 to 25.2.1 but

meson.build:763:4: ERROR: Problem encountered: Mesa Rust support requires Meson 1.7.0 or newer

[eli-schwartz]

There are two possible routes forward here:

• update to 1.7.2, which is quite stable and a useful upgrade over 1.6.1
• update to meson 1.8.4, which has additional fixes over 1.8.2 including many fixes to option handling. It was released 4 days ago, and I can hope we fixed all regressions in it but cannot guarantee it.

Please do NOT use 1.8.2 at this point.

Superseded by #57635, and upstream considers this version a dead letter anyway.
